Cardinals to host 2017 Fantasy Camp at Autozone Park in Memphis

Herzog, McGee, Ankiel and More to Attend Four-Day Fantasy Camp at Home of Cardinals Triple-A Redbirds Club

ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 18, 2017 –
After coming off a successful, special-edition of Cardinals Fantasy
Camp in Cooperstown with Ozzie Smith earlier this month, the St. Louis
Cardinals announced today that their 2017 regular season Fantasy Camp
will be held at AutoZone Park in Memphis, Tenn. from September 14-17.

Presented
by Heartland Coca-Cola Bottling Company, the four-day camp gives fans
the opportunity to play alongside former Cardinals players Rick Ankiel
and Kyle McClellan, be drafted and managed by Cardinals Alumni Danny Cox
and Tom Lawless and interact with Redbirds legends Whitey Herzog and
Willie McGee. The regular season Fantasy Camp has proven to be a
popular addition to the yearly Cardinals Fantasy Camps held at Roger
Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Fla., dating back to 2001.

“The
Cardinals Fantasy Camp experience is like no other in sports and is
more popular each year,” said Joe Pfeiffer, Cardinals Fantasy Camp
Director. “This one-of-a-kind experience gives campers the opportunity
to step on the field alongside all-time Cardinals greats and live the
ultimate baseball dream as a Major Leaguer.”

Throughout
the four-day camp, 44 campers will receive instruction from some of the
best in baseball and play four games under the management of a former
Cardinals player. All four team rosters, managed by John Costello, Cox,
Lawless and Gene Roof, will be determined by a draft, with the former
Cardinals/team managers selecting their players. Two former Cardinals
will also be drafted onto each roster and will play alongside the rest
of the team. Former Cardinals scheduled to play alongside the campers
include Ankiel, Scott Cooper, Mike Crudale, Ed Easley, Bernard Gilkey,
Bo Hart, Jason Isringhausen, McClellan, Jason Simontacchi and Brad
Thompson.

All
campers will receive two authentic, customized Memphis Redbirds jerseys
and use a personalized locker in the visitors’ locker room at AutoZone
Park during the round-robin tournament. At the end of the weekend, one
team will be crowned Cardinals Fantasy Camp Champions and receive
Fantasy Camp championship rings.

Fantasy Camp registration includes a three-night stay at the DoubleTree Hotel Memphis Downtown. Additional
perks include a private reception and special Cardinals Alumni
autograph sessions on September 14 and a customized dinner banquet
featuring Hall of Fame Manager Whitey Herzog and a special live auction
on September 15. Dave LaPoint will serve as Fantasy Camp Commissioner, leading the camp along with Scott Terry.

A
portion of the net proceeds from Cardinals Fantasy Camps benefit the
Cardinals Kids Cancer Center at Mercy. To register for camp, or for more
information, fans can visit cardinals.com/fantasycamp or email fantasycamp@cardinals.com.
Campers must be 27 years of age or older. Dates for the 2018 Jupiter
Cardinals Fantasy at Roger Dean Stadium will be announced in the next
few weeks. #CardsFantasyCamp
